I wonder if April Fools pranks are on the wane, given the April Fool’s-esque quality of our country, its policies and discourse, its upside-down and inside-out craziness. Wars and bombings. Ballrooms and arches. The abandonment of kindness and decency and statesmanship.

Where’s a good prank when you need one?

Not here, I’m afraid.

But it’s a new month, a fresh start. Always something to celebrate in that.

It’s April! No fooling!
